Let’s Get Down To The Details…….

In the world of full-size pickup trucks, Fiat Chrysler’s Ram 1500 has long been a distant third in sales behind General Motor’s Chevy Silverado and Ford’s F-150. We think the redesigned model is the company’s best chance yet at catching up.

While it offers staggering capability, serious technology and incredible on-road manners that impressed us during a weeklong test. finally, it’s not just the best Ram ever, the Ram 1500 is the best truck you can buy today.

First of all, to anyone who doesn’t understand the pickup truck craze, we prescribe a few minutes in a Ram for you to figure it out.

while scoff all you want at the $66,370 sticker price of our Ram 1500 Laramie tester, but consider the following. It offers more rear legroom than a $90,000 Mercedes S-Class executive sedan, more cargo and passenger space than the $72,530 BMW X5 luxury family SUV we tested, more power than a $74,160 BMW sports sedan and more towing capacity than a $98,230 Lincoln Navigator.

And it’s not just features and specs; the 2019 Ram feels entirely like a luxury product. There’s a well-trimmed interior with a massive, Tesla-style portrait touch screen. There are massive heated and cooled seats that are comfortable for long hauls. There’s effortless power around town and precious little cabin noise on the freeway.

Plus, we love the way the Ram rides. While other trucks and full-size SUVs tend to have some business in the ride at high speeds, the Ram is never unsettled. We also like the way it handles; though it makes no attempts to be sporty or otherwise exciting, it doesn’t lumber about with the sloppiness of, say, a Toyota Tundra.

as a result the 2019 Ram 1500 also sweats the small stuff with tons of thoughtful details throughout the truck. The locking boxes on the side of the bed are watertight and can be drained, However, in case you need some impromptu coolers. most noteworthy the center console is reconfigurable with sliding cup holder trays.

Let’s Take a Look Inside The 2019 Ram 1500.

first of all, peek under the lids, and you’ll see helpful conversion charts and formula references useful to any contractors who happen to buy a Ram. Below, as a result, there’s a cute depiction of the Ram truck lineage driving through the center console.

first of all convenience wise, we counted two 110-volt power outlets, four USB-C ports, five USB-A ports and a wireless charging pad. Add in the standard 12-volt plugs, and you’re set to power a small hospital should the need arise.

Finally, the 5.7-liter engine is a workhorse. while it’s not loud or obtrusive, but it delivers 380 horsepower and over 400 foot-pounds of torque. Spec a Ram right, and you’ll be able to tow a V-8 best-in-class at 12,750 pounds.

Consequently, while the portrait style touch screen looks cool, it’s not nearly as seamless as Fiat Chrysler’s smaller displays. furthermore, the software isn’t quite there, as certain menus are confusing and tapping on an information area doesn’t always lead to where you’d expect.

first of all, it’s a decent figure for the class, but it’s still a thirsty machine. hence, If you don’t plan to tow, there’s a mild-hybrid V-6 “eTorque” engine that costs less and delivers 19 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway.

Likewise, The beauty of these trucks is that you can get them however you like them. Regular cab, extended cab, crew cab, long bed, short bed, wide bed, with Ram boxes, V-6, V-8 without eTorque, V-8 with eTorque, four-wheel drive or two-wheel drive. Finally, that’s before you get to options and trims.
